Hey guys was thinkin of throwing a few pots in this weekend but not really sure where the crabs are! Went to buff crk a few week ago and only managed 2 bucks (which happened to be full) and another 2 out at channel island (which happened to be empty

) and im wanting more than 2 this time round!

So yeh anyone got any ideas? Will let you know how things go!

Cheers

I wouldnt complain too loudly about catching 2 crabs a trip off the bank mate. Have seen many a person do worse.

I here ya loud and clear mate! There's nothing wrong with two muddies! I just wanted to know if there was anywhere else that might be worth a crack?

Buff is one of the best places around town. Try leaving pots overnight and you don't need to be in the main river. Also bigger tides are better 2-3 crabs per pot in morning is normal this time of year. If you want to go for a drive try down the road that goes to the old Howard river ramp. Can walk pots through to creek. Look on google smurf.

Hi Bazza94. Ever try catching them by hand line. Down here (Central Coast NSW) pots are illegal. We have a good creek for muddies and I caught 10 1 arvo off a jetty (New Yaers Eve arvo, so I was the toast of the town that night when I turned up at a party that night with them to throw on the barbi). Couple of days later went further upstream (no Jetty), and got 6 from the bank. Big baits, wait till line goes taught or starts to walk, then bring in real slow. When you get them close (2' water) get the net behind them and scoop towards you. If they let go of the bait they generally swim backwards.
